I have now been losing my hair and have had thinning body hair, eyebrow and eyelash hair for approximatly one year now. I have hereditary baldness on my head but my beard seems the same. I've spoken to a few doctors in my practice but they seem dissmissive and dosent think that their is a problem. I know for certain now that there is. I have not been officially diagnosed but I havent been given the chance. I have suffered allot of mental stress in my life for various reason, which I won't go into but I think this may be why. I have researched different types of alopecia and this all seems very relative to what I'm experiencing.
Welcome to Alopecia World! Sorry to hear about all the mental stress you have endured!! Certainly can be an AA trigger! Have you looked into any treatments? ( alternative or conventional)
There's not a whole lot we can do to treat this disease. Mostly hope the disease just turns itself off.
I was pretty terrified when this all came down with me too. With the help of Alopecia World, NAAF and my Partner life all in all is pretty good.
sounds like a good plan for your next doc visit! Ever wonder how dismissive the docs would be if it were their hair falling out? hummm...
Actually I changed dermatologist about two years ago and really have a wonderful one now. Not that she has many answers- but she is up to date of research and always available for me.
You mentioned you have been under a lot of stress- ever thought about yoga? A good power walk usually helps me. A think acupuncture works well for stress too. And if that doesn't work there is always french fries OR chocolate .... :)! ha!
Havn't been on the site for a while, so appologies to anyone who's left me a comment that I havn't replied to. Hair still thinning and thinning on the body but I'm starting to say thing's like 'Bring it on' and 'Could be worse' ha ha. Started some councelling now to maybe get some 'past issues' off my head with a mind to sort out the mental sock draw!!! The body and mind, it's a funny old thing. Sending everyone love x
